Covid - a day in the life
Subway closed for disinfection (and possibly to reduce the number of homeless people sleeping on trains) during Covid-19. A significant change for the city and its residents.

-Aux armes- 2020
Tout d'abord je veux remercier @pasquigalerie de m'avoir laissé l'opportunité de peindre sur leur mur.
Ensuite cette fresque n'est pas forcement un hommage aux soignants comme j'ai pu le voir sur différents post mais plutôt un marqueur de la période que nous sommes entrain de traverser et qui a boulversé nos vies. Après chacun est libre de se l'approprier comme il le souhaite... prenez soin de vous.

Breath at the Cost of Life!
<p>This image shows a brunette woman wearing an industrial face mask, with flowers, likely violets, blooming out of the sides. There is no text on the image other than the artist's tag on the mask (Gide1). The image was posted by the artist. Sofiivska Borschahivka is a small town in the southwestern outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine. The image is captioned in Ukrainian on Instagram by the artist: </p>
<p>Подих ціною життя! Рівно рік тому наш світ неочікувано поглинула пандемія, паніка і безліч заборон. Змінилося сприйняття людьми один одного, адже кожен може бути потенційно небезпечним, навіть найрідніші. Тоді я створив малюнок "Лев у масці". Це був лише початок пандемії, який повинен був закінчитися за 2 тижні... але ми й досі носимо маски. Новий малюнок про ціну людського життя, за яке кожен день боряться лікарі. Про атрибут, який став невід'ємною частиною нашого гардеробу. Та про надію, що живе в серцях всього світу, що скоро ми повернемося до звичного життя!</p>
Breath at the cost of life! Exactly a year ago, our world was unexpectedly engulfed in a pandemic, panic and many bans. People's perception of each other has changed, because everyone can be potentially dangerous, even the dearest. Then I created the picture "Lion in a Mask." It was just the beginning of a pandemic that was supposed to end in two weeks ... but we still wear masks. A new picture of the price of human life, for which doctors are fighting every day. About the attribute that has become an integral part of our wardrobe. But about the hope that lives in the hearts of the whole world, that soon we will return to normal life!
